Production Background

All Soaped Up... between fact, foam & fiction

Rumour has it there’s a new cabaret in town. So now you can have your koek and eat it. Or, at least, eat it while watching it. Or washing it...

Award-winning star of stage and screen, Terence Bridgett (South Africa’s original soap slut) slides off the small screen and onto the cabaret stage. This coincides with his long awaited return to Isidingo, whilst screening on both The Lab 3 and Erfsondes 2.

In this, his… erm… virgin venture into the world of the one man show, Terence takes a frank, revealing behind-the-scenes look at life as a ‘Soap Star’ and the thin, often blurred, always gilded line between fact, fantasy, foam, fluff, fame and fiction.

Tickling the ivories is renowned musical director, Coenraad Rall, keeping an eye on the smorgasbord of songs exploring everything: From leaving limo’s to losing your lithium... from mobs in Meyerton to media madness. And of course, lest we forget, a deep and meaningful reading from the Gospel according to Glamour…

The production is directed by Kurt Wustmann and (thanks to modern technology) features guest appearances by Ilse Klink, Kim Cloete and Karin van der Laag. It is hilariously funny and was produced to be suitable for a wide variety of applications. Chapters can be omitted, swopped around and even specifically created to successfully adapt the content to suit any audience and language requirements.

All Soaped Up... between fact, foam and fiction premiered on the 1st of March 2009 for a season of Sunday evening performances at Cité in Dunkeld. It will be seen at a number of theatre venues throughout the country during the year and can be booked now for once-off performances country-wide!
